Other AYYA World Records

 

Most People Yo-yoing at One Time: (as an organized event)

To set the official AYYA world record for the most people yo-yoing at one time the following must be done.

1. Submit a brief video of the event.

2. Signatures of those participating. The total count (record) will be based on the signatures submitted.

3. The players must be all together in the same area not mixed with other people (appropriate numbers of non yo-yo playing safety marshals, police, ushers etc are allowed). For example: all players together on the field at the same time. Players interspersed throughout stands in Stadiums don't count unless they are all setting together in one section without other non-players.

Other Oddities

These are listed for interest only.  The AYYA does not track these as world records or award certificates for the events below.  If you have other yo-yo related oddities that you think need listed please send information to AYYA records chairman Lucky Meisenheimer, M.D. at

LuckyJ@MSN.COM

 World's Largest Collection (Guinness World Record) 4251 Different yo-yos by Lucky Meisenheimer) "Guinness requires each yo-yo be written in a list name, model, manufacturer, shape, size does not allow color variations of the same yo-yo (example Duncan Imperial Tenite Chevron Seal Tournament Shape Standard Size can only be listed once not red, blue, yellow, green, light blue, clear for six different yo-yos.)  It took Lucky 6 months to write the list, he has more yo-yos than the record but he got tired.  The record is more about who has the patience and time to write out a never ending, mind numbing, error free list than it is yo-yos."
